Wednesday's Dinner - 4/22--what's cookin'? - Mare749 - 04-22-2009
My birthday dinner!!! Well, not yet, but that's what we're having tonight. It's a quick and easy one, so hope some others will try it as well.
Started the morning with making oatmeal raisin cookies. It's cold here, so thought they sounded good.

I've got a red top of ham stock in the fridge, so it's split pea soup tonight. Just cut all the veggies for it. We have leftover cornbread from last night to go with it, and two avocados that need to be eate3. Dessert will be the biscotti and cookies I made Monday. Have fun with the birthday dinner, Maryann.

I've got the two (that we have so far...PJ???) of the May b'day dinner menus in my stack to do this week, but tonight we're having an old one from issue #50 - I have ham pkgs. in the freezer, so must use up.
Fried Noodles with Ham, Scallions and cabbage and a fruit platter with pear & port reduction.

An old recipe from Cooking Light - Thai Chicken Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Slaw.

I heard about a similar dish for the first time a few weeks ago. I actually found and booked a recipe last night in an ancient Gourmet magazine. Can't wait to try it!

Jambalaya with cornbread and a salad.

Clueless, keep the ideas coming. Got zukes that need to be used.
Cold here too, maybe I'll make that chocolate biscotti I've been wanting since Xmas

I haven't made biscotti for ages....

Okay---I was watching a cooking show "French Cooking at Home" and was inspired to make a creamy blue cheese pasta. Not for the faint hearted!!!! BUT what an AWESOME tasty dish!!!! Just put some cream in a saucepan and bring to the simmer, then add a bit of blue cheese (to your taste) and toss into your favorite pasta!! YUMMMM!!!
I used Papardelle but any pasta would be great!!
A side green salad??? What's not to love
This is one of those easy weeknight meals--for sure!!!
BTW---I gave up on losing those couple of extra pounds!!! Guess it's the old age thang
Maintaining for the moment---I'll see tomorrow when the scale goes off the chart!!!

man, what's not to love, Roxanne? I've also decided as long as I can walk my 15 min. on the treadmill 4-5 days a week and I'm otherwise healthy, I will not worry about weight - For God's sake, I'm a Great-grandma, we're supposed to be buxom aren't we????????
